In The Media

Pittsburgh has always been a welcoming, accepting city for this fandom, and here’s to hoping it continues for this year’s Anthrocon. If you happen to see one of these NORMAL people in incredible costumes walking the streets of Pittsburgh, don’t be afraid to say hello.

Taiwan has been preparing for the first furry convention in either Communist or Republican China, the one-day Infurnity in Taipei on October 31. Reportedly it has already received enough preregistrations to fill its venue, and may be planning to find a larger location.

The Chinese word for “furry” can roughly be translated as “beast-person” or “orc.” Interestingly, Chinese furries use the traditional characters for the word, so that there’s no confusion (for native speakers, at least!) between furries and literal orcs.
